National Party of Brunswick

The National Party (National Partei) was one of the three major political parties in a German state known as the Duchy of Brunswick, also called Braunschweig. Founded in 1836, it was a minority party and held only about one-fifth of the seats in the upper house of the local Landtag. The party fiercely advocated for the independence and sovereignty of Braunschweig.

The National Party was dissolved in 1871, when Braunschweig became a state of the German Empire. Some of its former members became members of underground nationalist groups that sought to restore the country's independence.
